According to SportsBoom this morning, the Villans have begun ‘exploring’ a permanent deal for the exiled Manchester United man.

Villa sizing up permanent Sancho deal

To make matters easier for Villa, Sancho is out of contract at the end of June, meaning they can pursue the transfer with peace of mind that they’re not shelling out an exorbitant fee – like United did when they paid £73 million for him back in 2021.

The forward, while not a nailed-on starter under Unai Emery, has enjoyed his time at Villa Park, which culminated with the side being crowned Europa League champions last week before going on to defeat his former club, Manchester City, 2-1 at the Etihad in Pep Guardiola’s final game.

Villa finished in fourth place and six points behind United, though their UEL triumph means they’ll be playing Champions League football once again next season.

Where else could Sancho end up, if not Villa?

SportsBoom adds that along with the Midlands outfit, Bournemouth, Brentford and Crystal Palace have established their interest in Sancho and are actively ‘monitoring’ the situation to see what Villa do with him.

The 26-year-old returned just a goal and three assists in the 39 appearances he made this campaign. Of those appearances, only 18 came as a starter.

He accumulated just 1,672 minutes of action and missed five matches through injury or illness.

United will feel aggrieved that they don’t stand to benefit from Sancho’s long-awaited permanent departure. However, they’ll likely just be relieved that he, and his ludicrous £250,000-a-week wages, are off the books once and for all.
